'Keeping Up With the Kardashians': Kris Jenner breaks down over Caitlyn Jenner's male clothes
Kris Jenner has been struggling a lot with her ex-husband’s transition into a woman. In an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," when Kris' daughter, Kim Kardashian, brought some of Bruce Jenner's male clothes that Caitlyn no longer needed, the momager broke down in tears and expressed her grief.
Bruce transitioned into a woman a few months after he admitted that he was transgender. Now that he intends to live as Caitlyn 24/7, he no longer needs to switch back and forth between his male and female personas.
In a video shared by E! Online, Kim brings over some stacks of Bruce’s male clothes. She shows them to her mom and suggests that each child can choose an article of clothing that they might want to keep. Kris admits that she also has a few more of Bruce’s things, but she hasn’t had the strength to go through them.
Kim starts to pull out the pieces one at a time and talks about the origins or back story behind the clothes. For each piece, she remembers a memory that the family has with Bruce, and this makes Kris even more emotional. She is amazed at how many details Kim remembers.
Kris also comments that some of the clothes still smell like her former husband. She starts crying and says, “He’s gone.” Kim tries to reassure her mom and says that Bruce has not gone anywhere and that he’s still around. Obviously, Kris has a harder time wrapping her head around the fact that her ex-husband is now living as a woman.
Kris and Caitlyn were married for 23 years before they decided to separate and eventually divorce. Caitlyn, then known as Bruce, transitioned just months after the divorce was finalised. Kris and the rest of the family have been trying to be supportive of her decision, but things didn’t go as smoothly as Caitlyn hoped.
